In a bold move reminiscent of a last-minute hail Mary pass, Reece Walsh and his Broncos teammates have been slapped with a ban for a cocky pre-game warm-up stunt that would make even the most seasoned coaches cringe.
Under the watchful eye of the new sheriff in town, Michael Maguire, the players have been served a reality check faster than a quick tap penalty.
The era of shirtless training sessions and inflated egos that once reigned supreme under Kevin Walters is now nothing but a distant memory.
Reports indicate that Walsh, the young gun who once strutted shirtless with the confidence of a seasoned pro, has now been put on notice.
No longer will the Broncos be allowed to parade around like rock stars, basking in the glow of their own hype.
Maguire, with the intensity of a fired-up halftime speech, has laid down the law - shirts on, attitudes adjusted, and egos checked at the door.
It's a stark contrast to the laissez-faire attitude that once permeated the team under Walters' reign.
In the days of yore, players frolicked shirtless at Red Hill like carefree gazelles on the savannah.
But as the sun sets on that chapter of Broncos history, Maguire has ushered in a new era of discipline and accountability.
Just as legends like Wayne Bennett and Craig Bellamy instilled a sense of professionalism and respect in their teams, Maguire is determined to do the same.
With a steely gaze and a no-nonsense approach, he aims to transform the Broncos into a force to be reckoned with once again.
And as Walsh and his cohorts adjust to the new regime, they'll have to dig deep, draw on their reserves of humility, and prove that they're more than just flashy show ponies.
The days of shirtless shenanigans may be behind them, but the Broncos are gearing up for a comeback that will echo through the annals of Rugby League history.
With Maguire at the helm, the future looks bright for this once-mighty club - and they'll have to earn every inch of their redemption on the field.
So strap in, footy fans, because the Broncos are back in business - and it's game on.
